Alarms in Topologies
Colored rectangles appear around topology nodes to indicate the highest alarm on them. Expand or
drill in to see alarms on the sub-components. For information about the alarm, hover your cursor
over the device or subcomponent, and a tooltip appears describing the alarm’s severity appears. The
alarms indicated are like alarms described in the portlet
Alarms Portlet on page 284.
By default, un-alarmed nodes appear clear/white. You can alter this so they appear green instead. To
change this behavior, uncomment the following property:
nodes.display.clear.severity.as.green=true
This property is located in the server-overrides.properties.sample file in the \oware\synergy\conf
directory, and save the file as serveroverrides.properties in that directory.
By adding icons to the devices, the topology also displays the
alarm suppression and maintenance
status of devices in the Topology view.
Here are the icons and their significance:
You can set these alarm suppression and maintenance statuses in the right-click
Event
Management
and Maintenance menus in the Managed Resources portlet.
